Hi Guys,
After a bit of reading from the woodgears.ca website, I am considering purchasing a dowelling jig for joinery in furniture.
Having never doweled before I am unsure of what options are out there and what are their pitfalls and would love to get the wonderful forum community to give me some advice on which jig I should buy and what I should be aware of. In general, what are your experiences with dowel joints? Are they good enough for furniture joinery?
Going across to the carbatec website, there is a self centring jig. However, there also seems to be available a couple of Haron versions version 1, version 2 (economy), and automated version, in addition to the a whole kit which seems to incorporate the economy version.
The Haron versions seem to be limited to 10mm-30mm boards while the self centring version is limited by how wide the jaws open? Has anyone used either one of these? Are there literate versions you would recommend and why?
Am I correct to assume that dowel plugs are compatible across different manufacturers? Are there different quality dowels/hardwood/softwood? Only one type seems to be listed at Bunnings...
Looking forward to your replies..
Thank you in advance...
